III The Knowledge of God According to the Church

I thought I'd include this cos it's interesting

"...the Church, holds and teaches that God, the first principle and the last end of all things, can be known with certainty from the created world by the natural light of HUMAN REASON.Without this capacity, man would not be able to welcome God's revelation."

I think what this passage is trying to say is that, the very fact we even think in our minds about a Creator shows that there is a Creator. Man's quest to understand and worship unseen powers is evident in ancient religions. Why was there a need? We're all such physical beings...we need food, shelter,..we depend on our senses so much...but what drives us to consider a being that is all powerful and unseen? I'm sure we're all created with the desire to seek God.
